GrowIt: Garden Planner

I’m loving the grow it app and how informative it is. I wish we could get some new patchwork from the developers for goals completed goals and points with some sort of in app currency for in app backgrounds. Also, be able to share your garden pics with others. As well as, have a leaderboard option to see who has had the most goals or work completed in their garden. Lastly, for new growers, time lapse photos so they know what they are looking for from sprout to harvest. This update would have to be something like where we have to send pics for verification of completed goals. I love staying in the garden it’s a new found peace and I’m looking for fun ways to better my garden whether by presenting it more elegantly or by yielding a better harvest. Improvements for the app only mean more improvements in our garden. I support the GrowIt App both where it’s currently at and where its potential to grow is at. I can’t wait to see it blossom into the best gardening app on the market!!!

this app can be quite useful and helpful in maintaining a working garden. sometimes it has to much info and it can be overwhelming how much it encompasses. it is well segmented into useful categories and allows you to get the info if you want it. two things of note for me that keep it from 5 stars, and they are features they could add. the first additions regards recording watering, fertiliser and things that are repeated and often. having a way that i could mark an entire reminder list category as completed, rather than what currently only seems to be done on an individual plant basis would be helpful. the other aspect of the app that can be taken into consideration is a table for micro climate acceptances. where i live there are differences in climate from areas that are less than 10 miles away, and while it enters mostly into what you plant and when, during a recent unexpected rain, the area of Los Angeles received rainfall in areas that other parts of LA did not. the app failed to recognise the differences in rain specific to the micro-climate i am within. the rain /watering feature i speak of above would make this easier to record, however this could also be avoided by tying into regional weather databases for the various climate zones, ( legalities / licensing issues? ) doing so would essentially also make this app the best most useful app for a home/small farm gardener that i personally could imagine!

There is a ton that I love about this app. First, it has a ton of information which has helped me quite a bit and the scheduling of what to do each month is super useful. Next, there is the weather warning aspect which I adore because my state has very erratic weather. Finally ,there is the garden planing aspect which includes listening what plants work well with others for companion farming. There are a couple things I think could be included with this app though. Balcony farming has become really popular and those plants are usually in pots. For my family, we use pots of different sizes and shapes. If the different shapes and sizes could be included for watering and the garden planner I think this app would gain a bunch of traction from other balcony farmers. Another update I think would be good is including more varieties of individual vegetables. I sometimes can’t find the plant or seeds I have on the app and I have noticed that the needs of these plants differ from the generic listing. Finally I think adding the exact amount of water each plants needs for watering would be helpful for balcony farmers. I know in my area many people need to water their plants a little bit everyday to help prevent scorching. This sometimes results in plants being overwatered or underwatered. I think being able to document how much water is given and how much the plant needs for the rest of the week would be very helpful.
